Re: INFO: sekanjabin

Regarding sekanjibin.  The choice of vinegar is important, and need not be
restricted to one sort or another.  Rather, it should vary with the desired
flavor.  I frequently use cider vinegar, because I like the "snap" it adds.
Others prefer wine vinegar.  I would adivse against white vinegar, as I
have found it has little flavor.

A friend of mine and I recently made a batch flavoring with grape jelly,
rather than mint.  It tastes pleasant, but I have had difficulty getting
the lumps to dissolve.  I suspect it would work better if the water were
increased in the recipe and the jelly storred in while the sekanjibin
boiled, rather than steeping like mint leaves.
